Living Where the Sacred and Secular Collide

One Amazing Summer: What Question Is God Asking You?

I'm behind.  Again.  Not as far behind as before but behind nonetheless.  That's my full disclosure notice.  #giggle But on with the post, right? I've been teaching my Sunday School class the last few weeks.  Since I'm filling in for the summer and each week we have so many people out on vacation, I decided to teach about the different Jewish feasts and festivals and how they relate to our lives as Christians.  I could spend days digging into the connections between the Old Testament and the ...

March 8, 2012.  Things fell apart.  Major fell apart.  A crisis rocked our extended family and all my plans were set aside, rightly so. Finally, in late June I began working on the project again.  We'd begun to settle into our "new normal" and, while the ripples of hurt and loss still shook us periodically, we were all finding our bearings.
